A video clip from an interview on Israeli Channel 14, featuring Miriam Peretz, has gone viral on social media after appearing to show a woman walking into a wall and disappearing. The unusual footage, from an interview conducted approximately six years ago, initially baffled viewers.
However, an investigation by mako revealed the incident was likely caused by a faulty editing technique. The woman in question was actually present in the background during the original filming. The apparent vanishing act was the result of an unsuccessful application of the "Fluid Morph" effect in the Avid editing software.
This effect is designed to create smooth transitions between different video segments, often used to seamlessly connect parts of an interview after certain phrases or pauses have been removed. Its purpose is to prevent jarring jumps in the interviewee's movements, creating an illusion of continuous filming.
The downside of this technique is that it can distort elements in the background. If a person is in a different position in two clips, or only appears in one, the software's attempt to blend the images can cause them to appear transparent, blurred, or even vanish entirely. This is what is believed to have happened in the interview, making the woman behind Peretz seem to be absorbed by the wall.
